Klopp usually favours a three-man midfield with captain Jordan Henderson or Emre Can instructed to be the holding player in the Reds' engine room.

The German also has the likes of Adam Lallana, Gini Wijnaldum and Philippe Coutinho to choose from in his midfield, with Naby Keita ear-marked to arrive as a club-record capture from RB Leipzig next summer.
